About Lynn
Your hosts have been offering two vacation homes for nine years and love meeting guests and helping them create a comfortable and memorable stay.
We love what we do and take great pride in providing a clean, comfortable and well maintained place that will accentuate and improve time away from home.
Lynn purchased this house in 1999
Why Lynn chose Santa Barbara
We chose all of our homes because of their neighborhood locations, proximity to downtown and the beach and amazing views.
What makes this house unique
Our favorite spot at this particular home is the patio where birds sing, the sun sets and an evening dinner at the patio table is easy with the kitchen close by. It's a relaxing location and when we can get in (very ifew openings these days) we thoroughly enjoy our stay.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Comment from TripAdvisor.com:
"We love our February home-away-from-home on Calle Cortita in Santa Barbara. We especially love the location of this small house, in the hills overlooking the city of Santa Barbara. We love getting away from Wisconsin winters and living in Santa Barbara in a neighborhood where we can walk to wonderful stores, to the Ocean, downtown for lunch. We love winter walking without worries about ice and snow. We love looking at the sky over the mountains as we sit at the breakfast table in the mornings. We love the patio at our little house in the hills. This is our Feb. home."

Cute, quiet
We stayed for a week in this place and had a great time. The house isn't huge, but there was plenty of space for us especially because of the patio and outdoor furniture which, being right off the living room and kitchen, was like another 500 square feet of living space.
The decor is super cute. We've not experienced a vacation home this well-stocked in our six years of vacation home stays.
Ping Pong was fun as was the hot tub - jets were good at soothing sore muscles after our sailing and body surfing at the beach.
We took walks to the Village for groceries and dinner. If you like to park your car and walk, this house a good one. The "Village" - as they call it - is 15 minutes and uphill on the way home, great after stuffing yourself at Alcazar (tapas bar) or Sczechuan Chinese - yumm
Nice place
This is a perfect little house for four people. It was clean, the bedding was very nice and the neighborhood was quiet. Lynn was sweet and quick to respond. The only problem we had was trying to park 2 SUVs in the allotted parking space.
Comforable, roomy, and quiet
Our family has rented Lynn's house at least once a year for seven years. We're sad we can't come back. Our family has outgrown it! It's a fabulous place
Wonderful Santa Barbara
My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights in December. We had initially booked for 3 but were enjoying our stay so much we asked for another night. Great quiet neighbourhood with nice views. Very central location for us, close to downtown and a wonderful dog beach. Home was immaculate, beds were incredibly comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked, one of the best we’ve experienced. Walking distance to grocery stores and coffee shops. Lynn was great to work with, very helpful with our questions of restaurants, a vet for our dog and sites to see. We were driving down to Baja and enjoyed Santa Barbara so much that we stayed in another of Lynn’s properties on the way home in March.
Great rental
Cute two bedroom that is fully stocked with amenities including a pack and play and a feeding chair for young kids. The home is a little older, but very charming and everything functions just fine. The owner, Lynn, is kind, quick to respond, and great to work with. Nice location in quiet neighborhood, but a quick drive to everything in SB.
Great place to stay, nice location
Lynn is responsive and quick to help when asked. She is easily accessible and the place is great.
